Yes, I'd do that first.

Actually, I think this sounds more like the "package" goal if you're
talking about composing a WAR. I've never used the "install" goal to
move files around like you're describing, always interpreting
"install" to mean installation of this artifact into a Maven
repository. However, the more conventional meaning of "install" --
say, as a Makefile target -- does sound like what you're describing.

Yes, the dependency or maybe the assembly plugin could help, but note
that the maven-war-plugin can do a lot of this file copying and
unpacking stuff as well.¹

No problem. Sorry to have over-explained the OSGi frameworks, but it
is good to hear that you've already started experimenting.
